Oleksandr Zinchenko has issued an apology to Manchester City supporters following his red card against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
The City left-back was sent off in the second half after picking up two yellow cards.
Spurs went on to claim all three points from then on, with goals from Steven Bergwijn and Heung-Min Son proving decisive.
Having dominated the first half, missing a penalty through Ilkay Gundogan and spurning several guilt-edged chances to take the lead, Zinchenko's dismissal proved to be a turning point in the match.
Zinchenko then released a message to City supporters on his Instagram account, apologising for the red card and vowing to come back stronger from the experience.
He wrote: "I would like to do apologize to the team and all City’s fans. No doubts it’s completely on me. It’s gonna be a very good lesson and the only what can I promise you that I’m going to work harder than ever before @mancity"
Zinchenko will now serve a one-match ban, meaning he will miss City's Premier League clash with West Ham on Sunday at the Etihad Stadium.
Benjamin Mendy is City's only senior left-back remaining at the club, although Joao Cancelo could stand-in on the opposite flank if the Frenchman is again unavailable for selection.
